TEM TE and TM Modes for Waveguides ?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the derivation of equations for Transverse Electric (TE) and Transverse Magnetic (TM) modes in planar waveguides, specifically for optical fiber and planar configurations. The user seeks guidance on formulating these equations step-by-step, as existing resources primarily address rectangular waveguides. A suggestion is made to adapt the equations from rectangular waveguides by removing components related to side walls, particularly for TM modes oriented along the z-axis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of waveguide theory and modes (TE and TM)
  • Familiarity with planar waveguide configurations
  • Basic knowledge of electromagnetic wave propagation
  • Experience with mathematical modeling of wave equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the derivation of equations for TE and TM modes in planar waveguides
  • Study the mathematical modeling of optical fiber waveguides
  • Explore resources on boundary conditions for planar waveguides
  • Learn about the application of Maxwell's equations in waveguide analysis
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in electrical engineering, particularly those specializing in optics and waveguide design, as well as researchers developing optical communication technologies.

hello ;
I need some help.I reading about TEM TE and TM Modes for Waveguides. actually I need some equations for Planar wave guide and optical fiber wave guide. I did google search. I don't understand how to write equation step by step for planar wave guide
I found this link http://examcrazy.com/Engineering/Electronics-Communication/TEM_TE_and_TM_Modes_for_Waveguides.asp
but that's for rectangular wave guide and I am looking for planar waveguide
please someone tell me link for planar wave guide ?

When you say planar waveguide, are you saying 2 (infinite) PEC sheets a certain distance apart? If that is the case, your development in the link you sent should work in theory, just take away the component relating to the side walls.
Say you want TM to z, so all wave components are in the x, and y directions and your waveguide is at y=0 and y=a.
Your wave is unconstrained in the x direction, so you will get modes in y that will still use ##\frac {m \pi}{a}##.
